My 1 yr old did it to me. I did it right back to her and she stopped after a week or so. I remember my sister doing that to me and that's how our mother handled it. Not hard enough to do damage, but enough to get the point across. If it's the right thing to do I'm not sure, but I know it worked.

I'm having this problem with my 14 month twins. They both bite and one has taken to pulling the other's hair recently. They also both bite, scratch and pull hair with DH and myself. I tell them no and separate the babies when they do this. By the time they gravitate back toward each other they have stopped. If they do it to me I do the same thing. I don't think they will understand me biting or pulling their hair, they're laughing as they are doing it. They don't understand "punishment" at this point so until they do I'm sticking with distraction. It's only short term but so is the phase, hopefully.
